In C, variable name hello is same as HELLO.
a)True or b)False?Answer: b)False

Question3: Mathematically,
sizeof(short) <= sizeof(int) <= sizeof(long)
a)True or b)False ?Answer: a)True
In C, there is a restriction to the compiler that shorts and ints are at least 16 bits, longs are at least 32 bits. And short is no longer than int, which is no longer than long. Read more -
Question4: C statement,
#define MAX 500
is evaluated in
a)compile time or b)run time ?Answer: a)compile time.
#define is called a pre-processor directive, which means that even before compilation, it gets evaluated and replacement text 500 is replaced with MAX. Read more -
Question5:
In C, ‘x’ is same as “x”.
a)True or b)False ?Answer: b)False
